The FANTASTIC FOUR Cast Suffer Through Cringiest Interview Ever
During an interview with an Atlanta radio station, Kate Mara (Invisible Woman) and Michael B. Jordan (Human Torch) were asked such idiotic and offensive questions, that you'd be forgiven for thinking the whole thing was a set-up. It wasn't. Click on to have a look... if you can handle it!
“You’re white and you’re black. How does that happen?” And that isn't even the worst of it folks! Apparently the Rock 100.5 Morning show interviewer was on a mission to make Fantastic Four stars Kate Mara and Michael B. Jordan feel as uncomfortable as possible when they appeared on the show (along with a silently bemused Jamie Bell) to promote the movie. It's a credit to both actors that they took it in their stride and laughed it all off for the most part, but man this is a tough watch. “You’re way, way hot. Why’d you cut the hair? Your hair was beautiful.” F*cking hell!
The show's main host, Jason Bailey, tried to defend the interviewer’s questions to Buzzfeed and just ended up doing more damage..
“Look, not a huge fan of these controlled 5-7 minute interview junkets they run in the first place but I was curious about the brother and sister thing. You have a white sister and black brother wouldn’t you want to know how that happened? I did. The other Fantastic Four franchises explain the relationship so I figured with this new hipster version they’d have some different backstory.
My partner’s (Southside Steve) conversation about Kate’s hair is something that came up while Michael B Jordan took a phone call so I think they were kind of just going back forth in a playful way. As for him complimenting her toes and why people are upset about that … sorry … no idea. Steve likes girl’s toes. People should be appreciative when they get complimented. Those that are upset on Twitter I guess don’t get enough of them. Who knows?”
Hear that ladies? If you're being interviewed in what is supposed to be a professional capacity and someone very creepily "compliments" you, just twirl your hair, bat your eyelids and thank them. Fantastic Four hits theaters this weekend.
